Scouting Report
- Raw righty with tons of potential. Younginer mixes in a plus mid-90s fastball that can touch 97 mph and a high 80s hard slider. Good movement on both pitches. Changeup is a work in progress. Mechanics might need to be tightened up. ~ SoxProspects.com
- Madison is a long and lean RHP with an electric arm. He already pitches in the low 90’s and touches 94 mph at times. His arm speed and athleticism lead us to believe that he will throw even harder as he matures. His overhand arm slot also leads to a sharp 12-6 curveball. Once he learns to repeat his delivery, command will improve and he will be extremely difficult to hit. ~ Baseball Factory.com
Amateur Career
- Was used primarily as an outfielder by his Mauldin SC team, he saw only limited duty on the mound, usually as a reliever.
